This brings EcoSecurities total volume of its carbon credits portfolio to more than 15 mln. The company sources, develops and trades carbon credits from greenhouse gas emission reduction projects.

It said in a statement that Africa has the potential to be an important supplier of emission reduction credits in the developing world, but is currently lagging behind India, China and South American nations.

EcoSecurities said it had witnessed growing interest in developing CDM projects in East and West Africa, with over 7 mln carbon credits signed to date in these regions.

It added that it has signed a co-operation agreement with Standard Bank to identify potential projects in a variety of sectors in the African continent.
